imagine your job is talking to others about your beliefs publicly in large groups & online to encourage them to believe how you do
...and then getting defensive & refusing to give any direct response when asked about those beliefs by your very public 2nd job
that'd be weird right? #bb27 #bbsky

A shutdown would give Donald Trump and Elon Musk carte blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now.

history shows that the best proven strategy against the rapid dismantling of institutions is "to completely capitulate at every step" (aka roll over and whine for bellyrubs)
Donald Trump, Linda McMahon, and the Republicans are working to shut down the Department of Education.
This will hurt our kids. 90% are in public schools. And we are fighting back for our kids’ education.

The thing about the Super Bowl this year is all the worst ads were either retreads, nonsense, or plain off-putting.
The best ones were still mostly retreads, but had someone kinda recognizable say something that kinda made sense to the brand, but mostly: boring
not unlike Dem messaging tbh

this is just so unserious

There’s a repeating phrase on The Traitors along the lines of “maybe you’re a traitor or a bad faithful, but either way you have to go”
Chuck Schumer’s advice for Democrats staring at a long two or more years out of power: Just wait.
“Trump will screw up,” he tells Semafor in an interview.

Nyt reporters: “Mr Elon Musk was merely showcasing his revolutionary method for airing out perpetually sweaty, stanky armpits. A striking example of conservatives understanding the issues affecting average Americans”
I've watched the video ~two dozen times. The gesture, which is done twice, seems both bizarre and familiar. He pats his open hand to his heart, before extending his arm palm down above his head with a grunt and pursed lips. Then he turns around and does it again.
